Like what does CLE even do until the end of the season? It feels like every move that they've made were duct tape fixes on a sinking ship.

edit: also lollin at people in philly saying people in philly are "better than [insert bad, bad thing they're doing]" when they demonstrably are not better than that.

they could stop giving jae crowder or IT any minutes and probably win more games in the short term but really they are basically just hoping lebron goes super saiyan and carrys them to another finals loss

I mean let’s say for the sake of argument that IT isn’t done he’s just got a ton of rust, if he’s back to Boston shape by the playoffs their offense will be right where it was last year, maybe better, and cruising to the ECF will make everyone buddies again. Then the question is probably just what’s worse, the Boston offense or the Cleveland D. If they can get Jordan and keep Lebron and IT they could improve a lot next year, again provided he’s not busted forever, but drat that tax bill O_O

Read that and thought "No, he just got Griffin on his team" and then remembered that DeAndre Jordan is not Andre Drummond :buddy:

Their problems started when they shopped Kyrie around and it and LeBron's attitude got back to him. Not that losing those guys would really be the same.

Cleveland has a Brooklyn 1st, is that right? That's more in the neighborhood.

People are dumb, crowds make them dumber, public outpouring of emotions make you even more stupid. Mob mentality is a hell of a drug. And when you've got hundreds of thousands of people out in the streets celebrating, it only take one dude dumb and hosed up enough to eat horse poo poo and bam, you've got 10000 retweets.

Cleveland seems to be going at a slow roll to part with that pick.

If they think they can do something that will even moderately increase their chance at a title this year, they should give up the pick.

If they think they are probably screwed this year and losing Lebron, keep the pick.

At this point, it's up to Cleveland.

I don't recall anyone eating horse poop while I was in downtown NOLA for the Saints' SB win or in Dallas for the Mavs NBA title. Don't forget Philly is a city where a fan once forced himself to vomit on a child for repping another team. Do all cities have some terrible fans? Probably. However, Philly always seems to have the most bad fan stories. They are kind of like LSU fans from the 80s and 90s with less self respect or morals.

LeBron: They should take us off national TV. LeBron James is at a loss for words after another devastating setback on national television.

LBJ looks like he has hit a statistical wall. He should take a vacation but the Cavaliers might end up with an awful seed.

Continue to lose games and look older. They may actually look better near the end of the season if they try hard against the worse teams (rather than wind down like the elite teams do). Although that'll be a mirage.

Collison got a knee scope and is out a few weeks, Dipo also out tonight but Turner will play. Would be awesome if the Pacers could actually keep all 5 starters the same for any length of time.

Lou Williams is good, the Cavs could use him too. They seem to have surrendered to inevitability, which is good for Toronto and Boston fans.

Glowing fish and I were lamenting the loss of the physical court area of the midrange to mathematically efficient basketball. It's a shame only 25 players are allowed to shoot there. Someone ought to address it

I was in Vancouver for Game 5 of the Canucks/Bruins series and went around to party in the streets after. It was a mob scene, but a pretty jovial one. 5 days later they lose game 7 and the same mob scene starts flipping cars and burning poo poo. No word on if they were eating any poo poo off the street. Philly's gonna Philly and they've got an exceptional talent and reputation for dumb poo poo, but there's basically no given event that could happen in a city full of drunk people overflowing through the streets that would actually surprise me and that goes for any city in the world. Someone's gonna do something insanely dumb, and 100 people around them are gonna cheer em on.
